Whether you’ve realised it or not, Facebook, Google and Instagram are pushing us all toward automated bid strategies (PMAX, Advantage+ etc). Throw in iOS updates and FLoC; marketers really need to double-down on their creative ability. Crafting high-converting copy, creatives and landing pages is going to be crucial in 2023 and beyond. Not that it ever wasn’t…

Writing effective ad copy for Facebook can be a challenging task, but with the right approach and a few key strategies, you can create compelling ads that grab the attention of your audience and encourage them to take action.
One popular framework for writing ad copy is the AIDA formula, which stands for Attention, Interest, Desire, and Action. This framework helps you to structure your ad copy in a way that captures the attention of your audience, piques their interest, creates a desire for your product or service, and ultimately encourages them to take action.
For example, let’s say you’re advertising a new fitness program. Your ad copy might look something like this:
Attention: “Are you tired of feeling out of shape and lacking energy?”
Interest: “Our fitness program is designed to help you get in the best shape of your life and feel more energetic than ever before.”
Desire: “With our proven system and expert coaching, you’ll see results in just a few short weeks.”
Action: “Sign up now and get started on your fitness journey today!”
Another popular framework for writing ad copy is the PAS formula, which stands for Problem, Agitate, and Solution. This framework helps you to identify the problem that your audience is facing, agitate that problem to create a sense of urgency, and then offer a solution in the form of your product or service.
For example, let’s say you’re advertising a home security system. Your ad copy might look something like this:
Problem: “Are you worried about the safety of your home and loved ones?”
Agitation: “Burglaries are on the rise in your area. Don’t wait until it’s too late to protect your home.”
Solution: “Our home security system is the best way to keep your family safe. Sign up now and get peace of mind.”
Regardless of which framework you choose to use, there are a few key things to keep in mind when writing ad copy for Facebook. First, make sure to keep your copy concise and to the point. Facebook users are scrolling quickly through their feeds, so you only have a few seconds to grab their attention. Second, be clear and specific about what you’re offering and what makes it unique. Finally, always include a call to action that encourages your audience to take the next step, whether that’s signing up for your email list, making a purchase, or downloading a free trial.
In conclusion, writing effective ad copy for Facebook is all about capturing the attention of your audience, piquing their interest, and encouraging them to take action. By using proven frameworks like AIDA and PAS, and keeping a few key strategies in mind, you can create ads that stand out from the competition and drive results for your business.
Up until working with Casey, we had only had poor to mediocre experiences outsourcing work to agencies. Casey & the team at CJ&CO are the exception to the rule.
Communication was beyond great, his understanding of our vision was phenomenal, and instead of needing babysitting like the other agencies we worked with, he was not only completely dependable but also gave us sound suggestions on how to get better results, at the risk of us not needing him for the initial job we requested (absolute gem).
This has truly been the first time we worked with someone outside of our business that quickly grasped our vision, and that I could completely forget about and would still deliver above expectations.
I honestly can’t wait to work in many more projects together!
